Hey there,
I am a newcomer. I would love to hear some words of encouragement. I woke up yesterday morning feeling scared, sick, frustrated and worthless and that is when I decided it was time for a change.
I am only on day two without drinking and its early in the morning. So far I feel fine but I am so afraid of the withdrawel symptoms. I did go seek medical attention last night and they gave me some medication and sent me home to detox alone.
I dont know what to think, say or do right now. The only think I know not to do is drink. Drinking has destroyed my life, not so much in ways that it has destroyed other. I have not suffered some great loss from drinking and Ive never gotten a DUI (I wouldnt ever drink and drive). But I know that certain things around me have been permanently damaged and I have to face that.
Anyone have any advise for me on how to get through these next few weeks that I know are gonna be a couple of the hardest few weeks of my life?
Thanks so much!
Shannon
